CHoUrEAu, e. n, I, r., August 9TH, 1887
EDITOR INDIAN CHtEFTAIN.-I
notice in the CnIEFTAIN of August
25th, 1887, an article alluding to
the citizenship court, where ref
erenco is made to two special cas-
es, viz: the Prather case and the
Flippin case.
Near the close of the article the
writer says; "The Flippin ex-
animation is before the commits
sion and so far is dirty case"
The writer of this was an attor-
ney for the Flippins and before
said court during the investigation
and there was no proof by one
witness that there ever was one
dollar paid by any person to the
citizenship court as bribe money.
In answer to the summons direct
ed to Hannah Flippin and her
children to appear and answer
said summons, Hannah Flippin,
John C. Flippin and Mrs. Flippin's
grown daughter appeared person
ally and filed their sworn answer
to the honorable court, taken be-
fore Clerk Allen Ross with the
seal on the sworn statement. The
sworn statement was as follows
awe nor either of us ever paid
one dollar before we received our
Cherokee rights or since, to the
court who granted us our Chero-
kee rights, as bribe money. We
nor either of us ever paid one dol
lar to a witness as bribe money in
our citizenship case while pending.
We nor either of us during our
trial for our Cherokee rights ever
authorized any person to pay one
dollar as bribe money, either to
the court or to witnesses. We nor
either Of us have ever been called
on by any person since our Chero-
kee rights were granted claiming
that any money had been paid for
such purpose"
Then they closed by saying
to the honorable court:
ave are bonafide citizens of the
Cherokee nation. You have our
sworn answers to your summons
we are amendable to the laws of
the Cherokee nation. Now if we
in our sworn answer have perjured
ourselves, have us arrested and if
you can prove us guilty then have
us punished according to the laws
of the Cherokee nation" ="
Now we ask in reason, where is
the dirt? j. NJ. BRYAN,
Attorney for Flippins.

NINE no NOTHING.

Are you aware, gentle reader,
that every district clerk in this ma
tion is Of the National party ?
Thatin law this array OF clerks
has, and did exercise, the authori-
ty in appointing all the judges and
clerks Of election at every precinct
in the nation, at the last election 2
And do you know that some of the
disappointed candidates of the Ma
tional party are yelling fraud at
the polls, and want TO throw out
Of the election the whole vote at
certain precincts, because, as al
legged, the clerks and judges SO
appointed, neglected or failed in
tentionally to do their duty p
II may be thought by some that
in the appointment of judges and
clerks of election there is no adj
vantage, especially if they are Sc
lected as directed by law, but there
is, and that advantage is in the
character of the judges and clerks
themselves, who can be selected
to the advantage of one party and
to the disadvantage of the other.

A family Of Forcmans have been
admitted.
Clement V McNair, who went
TO California in an early day. to-
gether with his f,inily.of five chill
dren and a lot Of grand children,
was readmitted. AS remembered
Mr.. McNair went to California in
iSl9, where he has lived ever
since. lie was then in the prime
OF his manhood, and now in old
age, melted by his affections and
associations of long ago, he wishes
to return to his people.
Claimant, Louis b. Hudson, OF
Georgia, with his family, was ad-
mitted. Mr.. Hudson is of the
same family Of Hudsons who set
tied at Beatties Prairie at an early
day.
The mills of the commission,
like those of the gods, may be
grinding slow, but exceedingly
fine. Ifa claimant gets through
the upper and neither stones, he is
certainly a Cherokee and should
be recognized as a citizen.

MORE on THE SAME sUBJEcT-THE
FLIPPIN CASE.

MORE ON THE SAME SUBJECT-THE
FLIPPGN CASE.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN There were
only two judges of the citizenship
commission who decided the claim
of the Flippius to Cherokee rights.
They were Eli Spears, president
of the commission, and Andrew
Young, associate. The other,
Judge Lee, was sick at the time and
not able to be present.
Therefore, if any bribe money
was used by anyone with this hon
orable court it would have been
with Hon. Eli Spears and Andrew
Young, the only two judges who
sat upon the case and granted the
Cherokee rights to Hannah Flip
pin and her children. The proof
in the Flippin case before the pres
ent commission was tried to be
heaped upon Andrew Young,
sometimes called Snake Puppy,
proving he was drinking, drunk
and gambling. Yet there was no
proof by any witness that Snake
Puppy ever paid one dollar to Eli
Spears or received one dollar as
bribe money from any person.
But testimony introduced by the
nation was: 81 saw Puppy drink
ing and playing cards, and my i'm
preston was that money was used
and | thought so, and came to
that conclusion from what
heard" But no positive proof by
any witness that one dollar of
bribe money was ever paid in the
Flippin case. As to Eli Spears
character for truth and honesty,
no man in the Cherokee nation
stood higher or fairer than Eli
Spears, nor never will, and that
proof is on file with the case by
the best men in Tahlequah
district. SPECTATOR.

YELLED THIEF FIRST.
If the National party has any
advantage in yelling "thief," be-
cause they we're beaten for chief
in the late election, it can be for
no other reason than the yell itself.
To yell chief first is too old a
dodge for its purpose not to be un =
derstood. The complaint that the
Downing party elected their chief
by fraudulent means, though first
made by some of the leaders of the
National party, cannot cover up,
nor draw attention from the dirt
they did themselves in the cleo
ton. Mayes' majority is not large,
when compared, with the majori-
ties polled for the winning candi-
dates for chief in several past cleo
tions, but it is a majority gained
under circumstances that never be-
fore characterized an election
among the Cherokee people. Cir
cumstances brought about by for
eighn interference aud the intro
duction of early California manage
ment of political campaigns, that
resulted in trouble and vigilant
committees. Like Indian claims
before congress, of which attorneys
carry off the lions share, has been
the interest OF cattlemen in the late
election. To get control of the
strip lands at one,ffth of their
value, with an outlay only of few
ftipends to few citizens who are
received into the ring. Then, other
interests are in prospect, the mag
nitude of which, connected with
the lease of the strip lands, that
in the opinion of the parties inter-
ested, justified the kind of efforts
put forth to secure a continuance in
power Of the National party, and
the outlay of large sums of money
to buy dishonest voters. This is
certainly the alarming state Of af-
fairs which is endangering the
peace and the general prosperity
Of the Cherokee people. The pos
sibility Of enormous gains to be
realized, if adroitly managed, from
the common property tenure of
lands and of the natural wealth
that is in them, loosely cared for
and loosely protected, and without
appreciation by the people in gen.
eral, is glittering and gorgeous
enough to excite the speculative
spirit Of foreign enterprise and to
create cooperative rings in our
own country. In such things as
this the party in power has great |
advantages, and the allegation is |
not without foundation that the ex-
traordinary and unusual means to |
carry the late election in favor of |
the National party had their ori-
gin in such considerations. That |
ninety-nine out Of every hundred |
Of our people are unwillingly sub
servient TO the purposes of the
unit may be set down as a fact, !
who are honest, confiding and |
devoid OF evil intention. There
fore only those of either party, |
who control public opinion for
personal gains and dishonest pur-
poses, are TO be blamed. There
are honest and well meaning men
in both parties, and there are some
whose records prove them entirely |
can otherwise.
Only in achange Of administration |
can better times and more hon |
est management of affairs be
expected, or an entire riddance OF
outside interference and rings, |
that have taken root in the pres
ent administration be eradicated.

LEyEL-HEADED TEDDY.

TEDDY ROOSEVELT is himself again.
He is back on his Montana ranch, where he
is more in his element than he was running
on Stalwart ticket for mayor of New
York. He is a better ranchman than
politician, and he ought to stick to the
business. He is too clean man for poll
tics, but he is just leyel-headed enough for
the cattle business. He is a qualified leader
for the cattlemen of the West, and they
recognize that fact. The Difference paid
by the cattle men to Mr.. RoosEvELT's
opinion respecting the interstate commerce
law shows III what esteem they hold him
and to what extent he enjoys their conf
dence. And it is fortunate for the cattle
men that they have such wise
leader. He prevented their convention
from making the mistake of playing into
the hands of the railway companies by join
ing in the foolish cutlery against the opera
lions of the interstate law. AS Mr.
ROOSEVELT says the law may be defective,
but its object is good. 1t is not the wise
thing to ask for its repeal when it can be
perfected by future amendments. The in
terstate commerce law has come to stay,
and the sooner all hands recognize that
fact the better it will be for all interests.

Fought ALI Night by Mistake.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, April 2O.-Satur-
day night Constable Charles Barfield, of
Butler county, went to Neeleyville with a
posse of half dozen deputies to arrest two
outlaws. desperate fellows, and, finding
them away from the house. quietly took
possession to await their return. On the
same night the Ripley county sheriff came
to Neeleyville on the same mission. The
affairs of both parties were so secretly car
ried out that neither knew of the others
presence. The Butler county men had
hardly taken possession when they heard
the Ripley county deputies approaching,
and supposed they were the outlaws, who
had come with large force. Scarcely had
the Ripley men surrounded the house be-
fore the Butler deputies opened fusil-
ade upon them with Winchester rifles.
The fire was returned. and for several
hours the deputies waged desultory war
fare. At daylight the besieged recognized
the besieging party, and parley was
effected which ended the battle. Two
men were wounded though not fatally.
The outlaws Lave left the country.

Place of Observation
BLAINE,s LAST MOVE.

1t has long been known that there was
an arrangement between Gen. SHERMAN
and the late Gen. LOGAN, but the cause of
the breach was never made public. Gen.
LOGAN was politician with presidential
aspirations, and was consequently reticent
on the subject. 1t would not have been
policy for him to have reopened the long
concealed sore, for by doing so he would
have aroused the antagOniSm of the power.
full SHERMAN family. He didn't even refer
to it in his book. But now that LOGAN is
dead, and there can be no possible chance
of hurting his friends by its publication, the
enemies of JOHN SHERMAN propose to un-
fold the whole matter, with the expectation
that it will antagoniZe the soldier element
against the ambitious Ohio senator, and to
that extent contribute to his defeat as a
presidential candidate. A revised edition
of LoGAN's book is to be issued, in which
the secret of the known estrangement is to
be given to the public. 1t will place
Gen. SHERMAN in very sorry
light before the public, and the
bad treatment Gen. LOGAN received at his
hands will naturally excite the indignation
of the volunteer soldiers, who respected
LOGAN above all other officers of the war.
This publication will come in bad time for
JOHN SHERArAN's candidacy, and people
who are familiar with Mr.. BLAINE's polt-
ical methods will not be slow to jump to
the conclusion that the man from Maine
has hand i'm it.

DANENHowER,s DEATH,

There is something peculiarly sad about
the death Of Lieut. DANENHowER. The
terrible sufferings the poor fellow endured
OH the remarkable Arctic voyage of the
Jeanette affected his reason. And it is
not singular that it did. The physical
suffering and the mental torture that all
our Arctic explorers have been compelled
to undergo ought to be lesson to our
government and people to never repeat the
folly of sending another party out in search
of the North Pole. There have already
been sacrifices enough to appease the craze
of discovery lin this direction. The world
has gotten along well enough up to date
without any definite knowledge of the
North Pole, and we can afford to remain in
ignorance on that subject the balance of our

AWAY OFF.

The New York Herald has reputation
as reliable newsgatllerer, and, notwith-
standing it is afflicted with that peculiar
weakness in New York journalism of
-'blowing its own horn," still it is regarded
as reasonably reliable. 1t is, therefore,
with a good deal of surprise and no little
apprehension for its future reputation that
we find a leading editorial in last MONDAYS
issue starting off in this way: ''The for
nadoes which occurred on Friday last
in West Virginia. Ohio and Minne-
sofa fulfilled the recent warnings given by
the Herald that the season for such storms
was about to open." That was terrible
break for newspaper that prides itself on
its news department to make. There was
something of tornado down in Ohio and
West Virginia, but as for Minnesota; it
was just as calm as a summer sea. If the
Herald has been predicting any storms for
Minnesota on that day it was away off,

from Kent. o., tells of a dabolical attempt
to kill Prof. Thorn as Sanford of that place
with an internal machine. A small box
was left iii the hallway of his residence.
1t was peculiarly constructed, with knob
at one end with which to open small
drawer. Being suspicious. Prof. Sanford
shook the box and a few grains of gun
powder fell out. Upon closer examination
he discovered several matches ranged so as
to be ignited when the drawer was opened.
He threw the box into the door yard. when
an explosion occurred which shattered the
windows of an adjoining house. There is
no known motive for the dastardly deed.
